It seems that apparently the toilet paper industry has hit a wall in product development. They have added extra softness, multiple ply paper, moisturizers, and who knows what else to toilet paper trying to one-up the competition over the years. One company likes to make a big deal about their lack of leftover lint, while personally we've found them to leave more lint than any other brand.
They've developed and marketed flushable wipes, which over that past several years have become a staple in our home. Heaven knows they've helped stave off the dreaded hemorrhoids during my pregnancy. I imagine mothers of young children could have told the toilet paper companies that this would have been a good idea ages before they decided to market it.
Back to the roll covers though. I just don't get it. First of all, none of my bathrooms are decorated in some sort of modern, overly girly, feng shui decor. They just don't appeal to me. Secondly, I don't want to hide toilet paper from anyone in my house. It's a necessity, and I would rather people know where it is and use all they need to (without clogging the toilet) than for them to possibly not use any because they can't find it.
Seriously, would you rather prefer to act like the stuff doesn't exist and run the risk of someone not having "a square to spare" or being clean? So, I'm not going to waste however much money Cottonelle wants me to in order to place toilet roll covers in any of my three bathrooms. I embrace the fact that we have toilet paper in our house, I don't worship (respect) it to the point of giving it it's own special throne (ha, ha), but it's here, it's not going anywhere, get used to it. Don't try to hide it.
